Samenvatting:

The intricacies of elder caregiving duties and responsibilities can be overwhelming because adult children of ageing parents do not know the ins and outs of the medical and social service systems, let alone how to cope with the emotional burdens of providing care for their ailing parents. This title demonstrates the common problems in eldercare.

Eldercare 911 helps caregivers face reality with support and encouragement while reminding them: "When you've done the best you can, no one has the right to ask more of you."
